Apple antitrust suit could reportedly come as soon as March
Summary
Apple CEO Tim Cook attends the first meeting of the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board with US President Donald Trump in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington, DC, March 6, 2019. Both the DOJ Antitrust division, under Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter, and the Federal Trade Commission, under Chair Lina Khan, have taken related action against major tech companies. Music streaming platform Spotify lodged a competition complaint with European Union in 2019, alleging that Apples then-mandatory in-app payments system violated antitrust law. The Supreme Court earlier this week declined to hear appeals from both companies, concluding the protracted litigation with a mixed victory for Apple and Epic. Still, following the Supreme Courts decision to decline hearing appeals, Apple changed its rules to allow app makers to link customers to a non-Apple billing solution.
